Default First Ride of 2017

Sunny and 16C in Hamilton area today.
Got out with a buddy for a nice long ride and waved at a whole bunch of other riders!
Awesome to get back out on the bike!!

We had snow today and there is still a bunch of gravel on the streets.
I'll wait.

It's nice to get out, but I'll wait till roads are clear of winter sand/salt. Won't be that much longer. I live on a main road that bikes travel thru regularly thru to Port Dalhousie, and it kills me. No idea where they are going, but they just want to go past the bars I guess.

I was out as well. Not as warm as it was there but still a beautiful day. Roads are still a bit messy, but nothing a good wash and wax didn't take care of. Hopefully the good weather will stay.

Weather and roads are good to go,plenty of bikes have been by today.I just can't justify the cost of insurance to ride one day for an hour or two then let it sit for a few weeks (I drive a service truck for work),will be waiting until the end of the month.

I am still waiting on some parts and powder coating. Maybe by the end of the month I will be on the road

I got so desperate to go for a ride I almost took out my wife's BMW 650

Default Next Week

Supposed to rain all week here in Central Ontario, long range forecast is for 17 degrees celcius next Monday (April 10th). Hope they're right, I'll get the Trike out then.

I got my 1st service done on Saturday then had to go to work Sunday. The forcast is good for the end of the week so hopefully I'll get out.
